Wow, even for an airport bookshelf that's really sad. I can usually find something worthwhile to buy...traveling is probably the only time I pick up business or economics-related books.
yea I know, he writes for the NYT and stuff, but it was odd seeing him at the supermarket. Not even Barnes and noble had him for a while, had to just order online
I don't think most people have actually read him though. At least Volume 4 is pretty obscure to the general reader. Hitler essay, Celan poetry, opera ... I dunno if airport core readers would get that.
Also, on that note, Mein Kampf can be bought in every airport in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan etc., Middle east, north africa, near east... Hitler is also airport core.
most of the tables at the front of airport bookshops these days seem to be stacked with over-optimistically aspirational business books with no meaningful content. how Amazon took over the world and you can too, that sort of thing
i guess imagining you're jeff bezos or elon musk or whoever and buying a private jet is a good daydream while you're squeezed in next to a sweaty pajeet for four hours
I’m mad and sad I chose not to say bye to my uncles before family before leaving because I thought I would see them the next day. Now I probably won’t see them again for a long while.

One of those books where you look at the cover and can literally guess the entire book. >one perfect summer
The lowercase font made me think this was going to be some woke trash, but it seems to just be a novel. >Summer on Blackberry Beach
One of those books where you can guess the story by the title. But if I was stuck on a plane and forced to read it, I bet I'd enjoy it way more than I should. Seems comfy. >Sweet Magnolias
Says it's from a netflix show, but I've never heard of it. I'm only commenting to say that redhead girls are cute. >the girl with the make-believe husband
Has me kek'ing at the idea of a girl pretending to be schizo over an imaginary boy to cover up a real relationship. >how to deceive a duke
For some reason I'm surprised at the idea of girls schlicking it to royalty. It should be obvious but something about it seems almost audacious. >feels like falling
The cover picture looks really familiar. >The Saboteurs
The book you end up getting because you're too ashamed to buy one of the other books. >Duke Gone Rogue
There's multiple books in the duke series? Holy based. >To All the Dogs I've Loved Before

Bitch, I'm not going for an earl. My heart belongs to the duke.
Can't even fricking believe there isn't a single copy of Where The Crawdads Sing, it's now a major motion picture directed by Reese Witherspoon based on the book, that, as I say, should be on that rack
Went to the airport a few weeks ago and there was a lot of Mark Manson bullshit
Id buy the thesaurus
why do you wanna talk about it? It's mostly light reading for middle aged normies
Because IQfy doesn't read and this is a good start.
Airport books used to be good. Crichton and Clancy both come to mind.
I found a copy of The Godfather in O'Hare years ago

That's the shelf at one of the local grocery stores. Usually has a lot more Stephen King
One day, I will own a small grocery store and stock the book section with nothing but Guenon, and Blblical and Islamic art coloring books.
Sure. Houellebeqc's books can be found in French airports. Now tell me, you perverted lovers of him, what does that say about how "literary," he is???
I was about to say that, I found Anétir on Paris's airport once.
>recently saw knausgaard on the grocery store’s book shelf
>realized I’m a complete and total pleb, a grocery-store-core reader now
feels bad man.
>knausgaard
Yeah, he's not some obscure author, anon.

And neither has IQfy, what's your point.
I read Stephen King's Joyland on a plane ride once, it was pretty good read for the four hours.

i saw a mccarthy book at the airport so guess bm is airport literarure nos
>nos
*now
Mccarthy is just popular. Airports seem to stock popular authors. Supermarkets stock z-list schlock.

I like the dan brown langdon series for some reason. Theyre a little older so youre not seeing them in groceries stores or airports anymore.
>No Tom Clancy
Into the trash it goes.
The book section at my grocery store keeps getting smaller and smaller. I live in a Black person filled area though so it makes sense.

Return to tradition
I like Gone Girl, it's a fun book
